Any of you ever play this game?

Im considering getting it and looking for opinions on it

f03933 No.13828000

I never heard of it.

Well stick around I guess, maybe you'll decide to get it too

It's fairly shit. My impression at least was that it was made for multiplayer and it plays similar to the Blood Bowl or the BFG game - probably fun with friends but repetitive and not particularly interesting otherwise.

>>13828000

Digits or no you should lurk more.

112 hours into the game.

Don't buy it unless you can get it and the dlc on sale.

Isn't it a 1-to-1 adaptation of a board game? I've considered it some too, but it seems a little expensive for what it is.

>>13828041

Pretty much this.Unless you have friends to play it with you, don't bother.The online community is full of cancerous shits with 3000+ hours played and I only really bought it because I played the TT when I was little.


797152 No.13828122

>>13828066

Its more expensive on PC

im on PS4 and its only 16 pounds there

I really wanted to like it and gave it way more of chance than it gave me. Strategy boils down to chokepoints and praying. Put two guys either side of a door so when they ambush you have space for a third to make it 3 on 1, still be ready to have all 3 of your dudes die. I understand SRPG's require random chance but everything in Mordheim is weighed HEAVILY down and you can only really add a couple of percentage points either way in customisation. I realise they wanted to make it as random as the tabletop but it's not a tabletop game, the tabletop game play much, much faster. Hell the videogame is so slow you could buy a warband off of ebay, find a group of Mordheim tabletop players online and meet up with them to play a game in less time than it takes to finish a game of the video game version, it's SO fucking slow.

As I said I really, really wanted to like it; I love the setting and am always trying to find more SRPG's that are gridless, but the hard reality is Mordheim just isn't very good.

Its a shame there aren't more gridless strategy games, I like them way better

It's great as far as I'm concerned. A lot of people dislike the RNG but it's what I find most fun and creates an exciting, dynamic battle simulation. Even back in the menu after a loss I'm holding my breath as the game rolls the possible injuries for my downed characters. These create a sort of service record (pic related) that, along with superfluous options like party member appearance customization, adds significantly to my attachment to my warband. I love my hacked, scarred, half-blind, peg-legged Sisters of Sigmar immeasurably. Seeing these girls stand up against the horrors of Mordheim (FUCK VAMPIRES) has been some of the most fun I've had this RPG-light generation. Another thing I like is the gameplay loop. I have this Warband that I love and care about but I also have this ever-growing wyrdstone quota assigned to me by my betters, and the mission selection isn't always ideal. Missions have ratings like normal/hard/etc., and I may know there's no way I can survive a given mission yet but not meeting the quota isn't an option. If I fail to meet the quota too many times it's game over, so I have to deploy my warband anyway so I can gather the stuff. I can wait a day or more and hope for a better selection of missions or maybe a warband member will have healed from an injury to even the odds but this also puts me that much closer to my deadline. Being between this constant rock and hard place situation with injuries, quotas and givesnofucks mission selection creates tension and makes for some unnerving decision-making that feels rewarding when I come out the other end successful. I really adore the game. I'm also hopeful about the developer's current project Necromunda: Underhive Wars which is another Games Workshop adaptation.

Hampered by performance issues like most GW titles on steam, I couldn't run it without huge hits to my framerate.

It's fucking garbage and you'll get bored of it very quickly. Nearly every encounter comes down to "how many units can I put near this gate/door/corner and ambush whoever comes by?" It gets old real fast and they had the potential to add some really interesting factions to the game, but didn't because muh female-only team.

Also fuck this game, why do I miss most of the time when there's a 95% chance to hit. I'm certain the game just lies to you

>>13827989

its a neat game that is built on tactics and positioning but devolves into mass pile up and hoping for better rng

OP reporting back

Decided im gonna get the game

Its only 16 pounds on PS4 and it seems like I can get plenty of fun out of it for that price

Im not looking for a super serious in depth strategy game anyway, just something nice I can play while watching a show on the side like I do with Xcom

Also probably gonna play Skaven first

Remember Sisters of Sigmar never die, they just get dragged into deep holes to be used as breeders to birth beastmen forever.

>>13831161

Skaven are definitely the most fun to play. Does the PS4 version have all the units/ classes? If it does, look at putting a poison wind globadier into your squad for some area denial and decent ranged damage.


797152 No.13831346

>>13831297

I looked at the dlc in the page, its missing the Undead and Witch hunter factions and you can buy them there, and you can also buy a new unit type for the different factions


e536b5 No.13834723

>>13831234

I doubt skaven can interbreed with humans and considering skaven metabolism they are more likely to eat any killed or wounded after a fight.
